Hypocrites

One thing I have realized in my few years on this earth is that everyone is a hypocrite in some form or fashion. However, there are some that take it to a whole new level and are hypocritical in many areas in their lives. I have dealt with a few people like that. When someone is like that, you have to learn how to deal with them because now matter how many times you confront them about, it's hard to get them to change. I know a girl who preaches about how you should not date someone who drinks, smokes, has casual sex, etc, when she dates a drunk who smokes not just tobacco and has sleep with more girls than he can count. Another scenario I have dealt with is someone who is a perfect angel in front of adults but is far from it around her friends. After dealing with these people I always keep myself in check about being a hypocrite. Since I was raised in a Christian home, my parents have instilled in me that there is nothing that hurts your testimony more than being two-faced. My dad was a great man and anyone who knew him knew that the man you saw at work on Monday morning was the same man you saw at church worshipping on Sunday. Who wouldn't want people to say that about you? I have always looked up to my dad and the example he set for me and I can only hope that people think of me that way. There is nothing worse than a hypocrite to me and I would hate for people to see me as one. It is easy for me to look at the way others are acting and think that I am at least better than them, but that is not right, the only person I need to be worried about is myself and make sure I am doing the right thing.
